I was able to build Maxima using Windows XP, but never with Windows 7. Nevertheless I'd encourage you to try
building using either SBCL or CCL. I know next to nothing about the build process, so if it doesn't work, I'm just
plain stuck. Last I tried (using CCL), make finishes OK, but make install quits with
1 [main] sh 5364 child_info_fork::abort: can't commit memory for stack 0x2
